Re: '88 Grand Wagon frame rusted
Mike, is that 'rust converter' a brand name or a description? Is it a
paintable finish, or is it a semi-permanent finish?

I will have to go look in the garage and I will be in there in the next
few days to be sure what it's name is.
I think it is 'rust converter'. It is a red colored product that is
supposed to turn the rust to iron or steel or something like that. I
bought it at Canadian Tire. It needs to be covered though, it is an
undercoat.
I also used an industrial cold galvanizing spray on all the washer
spacers I used for the mounts to level the 'glass body with the stock
mounts and none of them have rusted either.

Red sounds like Naval Jelly

This is a gel with active ingredient phosphoric acid, pH 1. It reduces the
rust to an alternate chemical form (another oxide?) that is physically more
stable and can be painted. You can buy the phosphoric acid cheaper but the
gel is easier to work with. When working with gel products, brush them on
and cover with sheet plastic. This will let the gel work a lot longer
before it dries out. This trick works great for paint remover too.

This is a gel with active ingredient phosphoric acid, pH 1. It reduces the
rust to an alternate chemical form (another oxide?) that is physically more
stable and can be painted. You can buy the phosphoric acid cheaper but the
gel is easier to work with. When working with gel products, brush them on
and cover with sheet plastic. This will let the gel work a lot longer
before it dries out. This trick works great for paint remover too.
